 laterally, frontal suture not evident, distinctly, ratherly coarsely, 

 and quite densely punctate. Antenna' quite long, moderate in stout- 

 ness, outer three joints slightly compressed and feebly dilated, third 

 joint equal to the next two taken together, fourth to the seventh in- 

 clusive subequal, eighth scarcely shorter and slightly triangular, ninth 

 and tenth triangailo-orbicular in outline, eleventh subovate. 



Pronofu/n widest at the middle, about a half wider than long; 

 dise moderately convex, distinctly and quite densely punctate, more 

 densely and narrowly punctato-granulate laterally along the nuirgins, 

 the punctures are not very strongly marked at the center and rather 

 small; ape.r feebly emarginate or truncate in circular arc and obso- 

 letely margined; sides evenly and moderately arcuate, moderately and 

 not suddenly sinuate in basal seventh, becoming rather briefly straight 

 to the angles, marginal bead rather fine, slightly reflexed and entire; 

 base slightly rounded, obsoletely margined, and about equal to the 

 apex, and also to the length; apical angles obtuse and more or 

 less narrowly rounded and not prominent ; basal angles minutely 

 prominent. 



Proplenrn' rather sparsely muricato-granulate and more or less 

 irregularly rugulose. 



Elytra distinctly oval, widest at the middle, scarceh^ a half longer 

 than wide: hase about equal — not wider — -to the contiguous pro- 

 thoracic base; humeri obsolete or subobsolete; sides evenly and 

 moderately arcuate, gradually widening from the base to the middle, 

 thence more or less gradually narrowing to apex, the latter not 

 broadly rounded; disc moderately convex and somewhat depressed on 

 the dorsum, rather strongly and not very broadly rounded laterally, 

 arcuately declivous posteriorly ; surface punctate, punctures distinct, 

 rather densely and irregularly placed, rather coarse, simple on the 

 dorsum, becoming submuricate laterally with a tendency to coalesce 

 transversely in twos or fours. 



Epipleiiree moderate in width, gradually narrowing from base to 

 apex, superior margin quite strong, especially beneath the humeri, 

 where it is broadly and feebly sinuate; surface subopaque and more 

 or less obsoletely punctate. 



Sterna densely, subscabrously, and rather fineW punctato-rugulose. 



Parapleural distinctly and rather coarsely ])unctate. 



Abdomen irregularly and sparsely punctate, quite densely so and
